Hug
Although the temperature in the capital city was pleasant during the day, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and a gentle breeze blowing, Xu Cheng felt his heart trembling with anxiety, and the air he breathed was filled with scorching heat.
His spirit, which had just relaxed because of escaping the trouble, tensed up again. His legs were tired, and his running steps were like they were filled with lead, but he still ran in that direction with all his strength.
The researcher who appeared at the door inexplicably, the only empty incubator in Area A, the test subject who was good at disguising himself in the incubator, and the researcher who fainted disappeared...
Countless fragmented clues finally came together in his mind, piecing together an unbelievable and horrible truth -
With the police station forcibly intervening in the investigation, how could there be any researchers in the basement? It was clearly a humanoid experiment deliberately released by the parachute!
He originally thought that the only empty incubator in Area A corresponded to the vine monster. Now that he thought about it, it was true that the incubator contained the vine monster, but the vine monster had already left one foot in human form and sneaked to the door, waiting to go out.
After seeing the truth, regrets flooded in like a tide.
He was in a hurry to get into the laboratory, so he did not search the suspicious researcher.
It was he who left the monster outside the door.
However, his reason told him that since the parachute company had carefully arranged for the subject to go out, the subject would succeed even if they did not run into him.
But emotionally, it is so painful to miss the opportunity to stop it.
That's an A-class monster with an IQ close to that of a human...
If anything happens to Luo Tan——
He will never forgive himself in his life.
…
What Xu Cheng didn't know was that Luo Tan's situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
As soon as Luo Tan's thoughts came out, all the troops lying in ambush not far away pricked up their ears and stood ready.
After so long, they have figured out that Luo Chen seems to be able to judge the location where a natural disaster is about to occur, and this location is usually marked by a "red dot".
So, when she saw the red dot, it proved that a natural disaster was about to happen.
But... that place was actually moving? Or was it flying towards her?
Following the commander's order, everyone held their guns and slowly moved towards Luo Chen, forming a three-layer protective encirclement.
They moved very carefully because their superiors had said that they must not scare her unless absolutely necessary.
Luo Tan put all his attention on the system:
[Hey, this monster, why does it look so familiar? Isn't this the door-breaking vine that appeared in the basement? How did it get here? ]
Vines appearing in the basement?
The officers looked up and down, and instantly held their guns and ammunition tightly, with a look of nervousness on their faces: The monster in the laboratory actually ran out?
[Wow, I thought the red dot flew over here. I understand, it turns out it was due to earth escape.]
The officers' gazes instantly shifted from the sky to the ground, and they opened their eyes wide, trying not to miss any movement.
[This vine was transformed from a human form. It runs pretty fast and is here in the blink of an eye! ]
What? Where?
[Wow, it's right under the feet of little brother No. 078, and is about to jump out to grab his wrist! ]
???
The young officer numbered 078's eyebrows jumped. He retracted his gaze and saw a dark green vine sprouting from the ground between his feet, and was about to wrap around his ankles.
Its movements were extremely subtle and covert. If it weren't for Luo Tan's reminder, he would not have been able to detect it even after the sneak attack was successful!
The young officer frowned and reflexively kicked the vine in half. Half of the vine fell to the ground, and the remaining half immediately retracted and tried to run away. Seeing this, the officer pulled the trigger and fired several bullets in that direction!
The vine that was hit was obviously injured and lay motionless on the ground, but the part that was kicked off shrank into the soil.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away?
[Hey, it didn't run away! Just ten meters away from where it launched the attack, it transformed into a person wearing a military uniform. Oh my god, it's really hard to guard against! ]
What?
Five meters away from the firing point, everyone looked at each other with serious faces, trying to find the monster who had sneaked into the team.
[Let me see what's wrong with it! Oh, I found out, it forgot the number of the simulated military uniform! Haha, what a careless monster! ]
The officers immediately became alert and searched the surroundings for suspicious monsters with the same keen eyes they used to find subordinates who ignored discipline and did not dress according to requirements. Soon, they found a soldier who did not wear any signs or numbers on his chest or arms.
Facing their serious gazes, the "monster" gave an innocent smile: "You guys..."
But behind it, the human's right hand has transformed into a vine, looking for the right opportunity to pierce the head of some unlucky person.
However, facing it, everyone took a step back.
Subject: ???
Immediately afterwards, it was greeted by bullets fired from all directions!
The disguise inherited from the chameleon could not be maintained, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a group of dark green vines, and then was shot into a sieve!
It has devoured human brains and possesses human intelligence, so it has its own thoughts.
If people could hear its inner voice, they would hear: Is this a mistake? Why was my raid discovered twice? How is this possible? What a shame!
Unfortunately, other people can't hear its voice and can only hear Luo Chen's.
So when it gave up the assassination and cut off its own arm, with only the last bit of its origin vine left, and wanted to sneak away when no one was paying attention -
[Hey, it's running away! It's running away! It's hiding behind that weird-shaped rock!]
"Bang, bang, bang!" It seemed as if an endless stream of bullets were accurately reaching its hiding place, and it frantically changed its route and continued to escape.
[Hey, why is it gone? Aaaaa, it doesn't have the strength to pretend to be a human anymore, so it pretends to be a woodchuck... Turns out that human form isn't the only form it can transform into.]
The subject who had just been transformed into a marmot breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, I'll dig a hole and run away. If anyone can still recognize me, then I'm a dog!
Not to mention humans, even the mother marmot probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between me and her son!
The officers lowered their heads and were a little confused. They hadn't noticed it before, but now they took a closer look and saw that there were several marmots on the ground. They all looked exactly the same, with almost no difference.
[Wow, this is so funny. Even when it turns into a woodchuck, its head is still a little green. I didn’t pay attention just now. I wonder if its head is also green when it turns into a human form, hahaha!]
The military officers took a quick look and spotted the woodchuck with a green head that was frantically digging a hole in preparation for escape. The next second, the cold light of a dagger flashed, and the woodchuck's body was split in half, but what flowed out was not bright red blood, but the sticky dark green juice that only plants have.
A piece of vine appeared on the ground, completely lifeless and motionless.
[The points have been credited so quickly! A full 600 points, it looks like the vines are dead. I guess if I fix one more bug, I can see what's behind the last zoo incident! ]
Upon hearing this voice, the military officers breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed their sore shoulders.
[By the way, the defense force of the star system is really strong. They can easily solve natural disasters without my foresight. All I have to do is sit back and wait to get the points! ]
No no no!
The officers secretly complained:
They also witnessed the strength of the A-level experimental subjects. They were capable of surprise attacks, difficult to kill, and intelligent. If it weren't for Luo Tan's predictive ability, their entire army might have been defeated and still be left counting money!
[It's just that I didn't realize that there are so many guards here. Why? Shouldn't the guards go to the laboratory? They are even the regular army directly under the royal family.]
Luo Tan seemed to be thinking about something.
The officers then realized that because of the struggle with the vine experiment just now and following Luo Chen's immersive attack, their encirclement had been completely exposed!
Will they be discovered?
Oh no! We were clearly ordered by our superiors not to expose them.
[This is just a dinner for me, why do you have to surround me with people three circles to the left and three circles to the right? ]
The more Luo Tan thought about it, the deeper his thoughts became.
Upon hearing this, not only the military officers, but even Emperor Nicholas could not stand it any longer and was about to stand up and start a conversation to divert Luo Chen's attention, but then he heard:
[Oh, what are you thinking! Isn't this simple?! This is not a dinner for you, it's a royal family dinner, I'm just a dinner companion! Isn't it normal for a royal family dinner to have more security forces? ]
The logic makes sense!
Luo Tan felt satisfied and rubbed his belly.
Everyone else in the audience also relaxed, although they were the only ones who knew that Luo Tan was the real protagonist today!
Nicholas gave his son a look, and said complacently: Look, I told you I had to come. My arrival has made such a great contribution to not being exposed!
Brother Hei: Yes, yes, you are right.
[However, the royal family members have to be careful. As the saying goes, it is lonely at the top. They are in this position, and crises are endless! ]
The royal family members looked at Luo Tan with pity:
The assassination was directed at you.
However, they will definitely increase the security level around Luo Chen to a higher level than that of the imperial palace!
…
So, when Xu Cheng finally showed up and found that Luo Tan was fine, and wanted to approach her, he was directly pinned to the ground by several officers who volunteered to help: "What are you doing?" "Why are you running?"
Only after Xu Cheng showed his ID was he allowed to pass.
The officers were still worried and their eyes were fixed on him. After the battle between the impostors just now, they were suspicious of everyone.
Then they saw Inspector Xu, who had just been transferred to the Capital Star, standing in front of Luo Tan with red eyes. The moment the girl raised her head, he hugged her in his arms!
